Board of Visitors

The Board of Visitors (BOV) is the governing body for the College of William & Mary. The Governor of Virginia appoints individuals to serve four year terms in the service of the College.

The seventeen members of the Board of Visitors gather in Williamsburg several times each year to discuss matters of long-term planning and budget for William & Mary. The Board of Visitors meets in Blow Memorial Hall and regularly engages the campus community through its 12 committees, and the alumni community through participation at annual and special events.
